Need some opinions on what would be the best newsgroup provider to sign up with.

The newsgroups provided by my ISP just aren't cutting it anymore.

Thanks.

Depending on the retention numbers you're looking for, I'm with usenetserver @ $39.99 for 3 months, unlimited.

thirded, they rock!!!

Fourthded - their retention is over 65 days right now - insane. I haven't had the opportunity to test beyond that...but I'm highly impressed.

I have an affiliate code through them, so if anybody wants to sign up through my link, PM me.

Big stories need lots of bandwith, especially any news about movies, music, or games.

I use easynews at $9.95 for 20 GB/month. I use maybe 1 GB a month, and it rolls over. I have like 200 GB saved up.

I use UsenetServer.com. I have used them for a long time and have never had a problem.

Oh really, the unused space rolls over? Hmmm...I've been busier lately and haven't really been using too much of my account...

Astraweb seems to be faster than UNS. But UNS has Global Search.

Haven't checked out NewsHosting, will do once UNS expires. They've had some troubles and this past week have had almost two full days of downtime.

Yeah, I've used astraweb and am with UNS now...the global search is quite nice, but maybe I'll join one of those pay-searches and another provider.
